Calling BS on this right now. There is absolutely no way this would occur in Pennsylvania. Are you sure this isn't Maryland or Delaware you are talking about? What road did you see these on?

Laws are very clear on this.

Pa, Montgomery county area. Right by the Roslyn school out front and around that area. And today driving through Philly I saw another 2 cars with white and blue only but also saw a red white and blue cop car which was interesting. I'm just curious as to why 1 they are doing it and 2 why aren't they all doing it

I get what you are stating, but this would be illegal in Pennsylvania. If it was in Philadelphia I wouldn't put it past them to do it, but I'm telling you if it happened in Pennsylvania it is highly suspicious at best.

Probably Fire Police if it were in the Montgomery County area. Fire Police are sometimes a odd bunch. They will buy a used cruiser and then put all their whack-a-mole lights on it along with antennas to give it that cool look.
What people may not know is that a PA Fire Police Officer only has to be a member of a volunteer fire department in the state. There is nothing in the PA State statutes that prohibit them from their services being used throughout the state.

Source: I've studied this stuff that was taught by a Pennsylania State Police instructor. Some people are also under the impression that a fire police officer may not posess a firearm... And this of course would be false as well. If they use it for protection or for personal carry it passes the sniff test. If they use it in the performance of their duties it would be illegal.

Well it was 100% Pennsylvania police and not fire police as it was a police cruiser for my tow ship I saw and another few as completely unmarked but we're acting as cops to pull people over so maybe fake cops there but it doesn't explain the local cop doing it?
